Opinions on this name?
Would you imagine a boy or girl?

It’s not awful but I probably wouldn’t choose it.

I’d say it’s a girls name.

Whatareyoutalkingabout · 31/05/2019 13:46

Lovely. I'd assume it was a little girl.

Accounting software

I like it. I’d assume a boy. I also like Basil for a boy

Makes me think of onion

There’s no reason why you can’t use it as a name - it’s a herb (and so is Rosemary), a software package and a word that can be used to describe someone who is wise.
It’s a name that could probably be used for either sex but I think it’s more girly simply because it rhymes with Paige which is a girls name.
Having said all that, for some reason I don’t really see it as a ‘proper’ name yet, but that’s not to say it won’t become one if people use it. Not sure that makes sense but I know what I mean!

I love it. I know a girl with that name.

mulberrybag · 31/05/2019 10:02

Love it!!!!! Like really love it 💗

The only one I've met was a know-all hippy guy in his 40s and I'm pretty sure it wasn't his real name, I think he probably thought he was really wise (but probably herbal too) so that would put me off.

Don't like it

DNAwrangler · 31/05/2019 09:52

I've met two Sages, both girls.

Zigzagpolar · 31/05/2019 09:51

I think it’s nice. I taught a little boy called sage. Maybe 8 or 9 yo. He introduced himself as Steve- so that’s what I called him, till his mum complained!( this was just an after school club) Have you considered Steve? Not enough Steves around!

HoppyHop · 31/05/2019 09:46

I think of the accountancy software package of the same name. So although it's a nice name that's what I think of!

PolarBearBubbles · 31/05/2019 09:38

I like it, I think it's moved up the rankings a bit the last couple of years, although nothing close to top 100 or so (in my eyes a good thing!)
I see it as a girls name.

Maiden247 · 31/05/2019 09:37

Really!?!?!

piekebab · 31/05/2019 09:34

And onion

lucymegan · 31/05/2019 09:30

I don't like it sorry. Sylvester Stallone had a son named it though 🤷🏻‍♀️
